In 1989 came the 244 series.
3 versions - A with MC phono, B with MM phono and C line level.
Prices in CHF
A - 16000
B - 13500
C - 11000
The sound was very good, but not at the same level as the FMA amps.
But later a module upgrade was available, which offered much better sound - upgrade price CHF 1500.
